Artist might be relocating to Naple, FL... (Miami, Sarasota: how much, to live)

[creativeye]

Hello, I'm in the process of a relocation to Naples, FL and I wanted to know if anyone can help me out with some information. I'm an artist and also a photographer. I 'm looking for somewhat an eclectic vibe. I'm very much into nature and the arts. I'm not sure how much Naples is close to what I'm looking for. What are the best areas to live, housing, etc. I was raised in Miami for many years, but not interested in the Miami lifestyle! I'm more of a laid back artist, wanting some relaxation and meeting other ARTIST as well. I'm also into the fashion styling field. I just need someone to guide me with some answers. Hope I get some good feedback. Thank you..Laz

Sarasota would be a better choice IMO. Pine Island is a lot less populated. Sarasota has a bigger year-round population and a bigger seasonal population too.

I don't think Naples has an eclectic vibe. I know little about the arts scene except it is very seasonal.

We need more information:
-Are you self-employed or do you need another job?
-Spouse, kids. Does your spouse need to work?
-Housing budget?
-What area of Naples? You need to narrow it down.
